END THE WAR ON IRAQ

BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!

Leave no military bases behind

End the looting of Iraq

Stop the torture

Stop bankrupting our communities

No military recruitment in our schools

More than two years after the illegal and immoral U.S. invasion of Iraq, the nightmare continues. More than 1600 U.S. soldiers have died, at least another 15,000 have been wounded; even the most conservative estimates of Iraqi deaths number in the tens of thousands. Iraq, a once sovereign nation, now lies in ruins under the military and corporate occupation of the United States; U.S. promises to rebuild have not been kept and Iraqis still lack food, water, electricity, and other basic needs.

A majority of Americans believe that this war never should have happened, but our elected representatives in Washington continue to rubber-stamp the Bush Administration's disastrous Iraq policies. They have given military recruiters nearly unrestricted access to our schools -- and the Pentagon nearly unrestricted access to our tax dollars. At a time when our vital social programs are eroding or completely decimated, an overwhelming majority in Congress recently approved Bush's request for an additional $82 billion in war funding, and there's already talk of another $50 billion appropriation this fall.

It's time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities! Join United for Peace and Justice in Washington, D.C. for three massive days of action against the war: a major march, rally, and festival on Saturday, September 24; an interfaith religious service and day of grassroots trainings on Sunday, September 25; and a large-scale grassroots lobbying day and mass nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience on Monday, September 26.

From every corner of this country, people will travel to Washington to bring our demands directly to the policymakers responsible for this unjust war. These three days of actions will send a clear message to the White House and Congress: The Iraq war must end. It's time to bring all the troops home, leaving no U.S. military bases behind, and to stop the corporate theft of Iraq's resources. Instead of draining our national treasury for endless war, we demand that our tax dollars be used to repair the damage done to Iraq and to fund services in our communities. We call for an immediate end to our government's assault on immigrants, the unethical pressures on our young people to join the military, and the undermining of democracy through relentless attacks on everyone's basic rights.

Our mobilization will coincide with the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, whose economic policies place corporate profits ahead of basic human needs worldwide. We will speak out against the corporate theft of Iraq's resources and the decimation of the Iraqi economy through privatization and "free trade."

Join our weekend of action to stop this war, and help prevent any new wars!

I hope you are going Booners. :o

This march is in Washington. Bit difficult for us to make it.

I thought you'd been banned for life?

Hope you didn't beg to be allowed back in, as that somewhat undermines your 'tough guy' image.

I hope you are going Booners.  :o

I'll be there Gent... :D

Well its nice to have you back anyway.

Sapparot - I think not. He's Belgian isn't he?

...and the Eye of Sauron is about as captivating as a roomfull of retards trying to #### a doorknob.

And you better do it now, or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down. And if that doesn't work, I'll just hold my breath until I die. Just watch. You'll see

More than two years after ....blah .... blah .... blah

How many Iraqi's have you interviewed to see how happy they really are to out from under Saddam's tyranny? How many terrorist acts have you seen on American soil since the US took the fight to them, rather than 8 years of the other way around? Oh, that's right, you just watch the idiot box and believe everything the talking heads spew out.

At a time when our vital social programs are eroding or completely decimated, an overwhelming majority in Congress recently approved Bush's request for an additional $82 billion in war funding, and there's already talk of another $50 billion appropriation this fall.

What evidence do you have that social programs have been directly impacted by the goings-on in Iraq? Do you have any idea how congressional funding works? Or how it gets published?

Here's a clue from typical Beltway-speak. A welfare or pork barrel program is planned to have a 10% increase. Yet Congress and the President decide to only approve a 7% increase. This goes into the press as "having the budget slashed." But is that really what happened? Hardly, but you'd be surprised how many morons soak that up like so much electrik koolaid.

Gee a war march, rally and festival all in one? Hey, this must really be serious business. Will there be vendor booths selling love beads and bongs too?

From every corner of this country, people will travel to Washington to bring our demands directly to the policymakers responsible for this unjust war.

Yeah, I'm sure this will be big, big, big, just like the "million man march," which had all of 150,000 people, mostly from DC, Baltimore, Philly and NY.

While you're at it, be sure to thank all of the troops in the all volunteer US military, who fight and defend the country for your right to do what you are about to do.

Our mobilization will coincide with the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, whose economic policies place corporate profits ahead of basic human needs worldwide.

More huffin' 'n puffin'.

What has the World Bank and IMF specifically done? Evidence please?

Oh and by the way .... communism is dead. The world thrives on capitalism. It always has since the invention of money thousands of years ago. It takes corporations and corporate profits to invest in businesses that put people to work. But hey, you knew that already, right? Either that or you are in complete denial of reality.

We will speak out against the corporate theft of Iraq's resources and the decimation of the Iraqi economy through privatization and "free trade."

Great idea!!! I hope that you start with bringing down Goofi Annan for all the UN corruption in the Iraqi Oil for Food program, as well as general disinterest in Iraqi genocide between 1980 and 2003.

With Babes like these, how can you not support the War? :o

Splendid Cruise Missiles on the far left/right/left/right...attenshun!!!...... :o

What I'd really like to know is .....

If this really was a huge important march ....

If this really was a huge important anti-war rally ....

If this really was a huge important anti-Bush protest ....

Then why were all of the most vehement Bush-bashers, doves, and anti-Iraq-war Democrat leaders not only not present at the rally, but not anywhere near Washington DC?

Among the notable absentees are no less than Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Shumer, Diane Feinstein .... and the list goes on and on ......

For all of you left leaning libs who were present, I would say that your leaders have abandoned you and I hope you remember that when Nut Case Dean comes to ask for your campaign donation and Ice Queen Clinton comes to ask for your vote!
